Oh yes I need to get it folding on my ubuntu VM machine - I need to work out how to install F@H on it!

As I said, bar a few old legacy games, x64 is spot on - noticeably faster than standard xp.

The following guide to setting up the SMP client is pinched from one of Rich99s posts in the other place - which was in turn, pinched from the Folding forums.

mkdir -p ~/folding/FAH
cd ~/folding/FAH
wget http://folding.stanford.edu/release/FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz
tar xzf FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz

GET IT RUNNING WITH:

./fah5

It's easy - even a complete Linux noob like me can do it

Happy Folding

Well, as long as that's a dual core Ubuntu VM machine anyway.

I still don't think I could cope without my menu bar. I had IE7 for a while, decided I didn't like it (even with various hacks to put the menu back in the 'right' place) and promptly binned it.

One more reason I actually don't want to go to Vista.

I don't think Microsoft 'get' the whole idea of people who dont like using the mouse - even though they claim accessibility.

Vista has Menu Bars if you want them

I'm still running 32-bit XP.. Never seen any need for 64 bit.

Vista's legal fine print includes extensive provisions granting Microsoft the right to regularly check the legitimacy of the software and holds the prospect of deleting certain programs without the user's knowledge.

Eep

Office '07 doesn't though.

But they've proven you don't really need the menu bars in Office '07, once you've become half accustomed to the layout it really is much easier to use. Its just something new...
